Saint-Michel Mountain, a souvenir shop. "Action begins! Let's capture them!" Group Leader Conrad burst out from the innermost room, tossed a gun to Luo An, and then ordered Evelyn to quickly change her clothes. Evelyn immediately started putting on her bulletproof vest, Reesi did the same, and while arranging his equipment, Luo An asked: "Mona, what time is it now?" Mona by the computer checked the time and replied: Hearing this, Luo An frowned slightly but said nothing, just casting an indecipherable look towards Reesi, who also remained silent, simply nodding slightly. The group quickly finished preparing, according to the plan, Mona sat there, responsible for organizing information and monitoring commands. Sean was tasked with watching the shop owner and safeguarding the shop, ensuring Mona's absolute safety, while the rest—Luo An, Reesi, Conrad, and Evelyn—rushed towards the target with their guns. As the four of them moved quickly, seabirds soared high and the sky grew dim. A vast cluster of dark clouds gathered in the distance. Upon arriving at the foot of the mountain, cars previously parked there had vanished, replaced by the waters, slightly darkened due to lack of sunlight. Evelyn's brows furrowed tightly at this sight, only then realizing: "Is the tide coming in?!" Besides the mountain-top church, the spectacular tidal phenomenon is also one of Saint-Michel Mountain's most appealing features. This place holds Europe's largest tide-watching theater. During high tide, the sea rushes in rapidly, quickly submerging the surrounding salt marsh beaches of Saint-Michel Mountain. At this moment, Saint-Michel Mountain returns to being a true isolated island in the sea, almost like a castle floating on the ocean, incredibly dreamlike. Seeing the original tidal flats vanishing at a visibly rapid rate, Conrad looked around tightly furrowed, seeing no one, he immediately pressed his communicator and asked: "Agent Mona, where are Rupert and Zakaria?" ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novèlfire.net Mona quickly answered: "Past that city wall and you'll see them!" Conrad immediately ran to the right, Luo An and the others hurriedly followed, quickly circling the city wall, a platform typically used for tide-watching appeared before them. There were no tourists at the tide-watching spot at this time; just Rupert with three bodyguards and Zakaria with four guards, shaking hands and discussing, laughing loudly from time to time. Seeing this group of people, Conrad's face lit up with joy, and he immediately quickened his pace. Climbing the stairs on the left side of the Tide Observation Platform, and before Conrad and others reached the top of the stairs, several loud shouts suddenly entered their ears: "Don't move! Drop your weapons! Hands up!" Conrad paused for a second, Evelyn looked stunned, Luo An, however, remained composed, swiftly moved past Conrad, stepped up the staircase to the Tide Observation Platform, and shouted commandingly: "Drop your weapons! Get on the ground!" At the center of the Tide Observation Platform, Rupert and Zakaria had shocked expressions, it was hard to tell if it was real, but several armed men at the top of the other staircase appeared even more baffled. At this moment, the considerably large Tide Observation Platform formed a straight-line arrangement: Luo An and his group stood at the top of the staircase on the far left; Rupert, Zakaria, and their bodyguards stood in the middle; while six Caucasian men, also armed, targeting Rupert and the other, were positioned at the staircase on the far right. The leader among the six Caucasian men on the right, a man in his forties with golden hair above his ears but severely balding—his scalp visible with a breeze—looked tense. Seeing Luo An's group standing on the other side, aiming guns at Rupert and his companions, the balding man's eyebrows tightened. He subtly guessed the identity of Luo An and his group. Just as he was about to speak, from the woods behind the observation spot, suddenly emerged another group of armed individuals, who shouted loudly: "We are from Division Seven, everyone drop your guns! Surrender peacefully!" The bald men on the right were twitching their eyelids, Rupert's group in the middle looked shocked and bewildered, and on the far left, Conrad and Evelyn frowned tightly, while Reesi rolled her eyes dramatically. Luo An's face twitched; he had guessed the identity of the bald men opposite—it must be MI6 from the British Empire. His gaze flickering, Luo An remembered what Reesi had mentioned earlier about three shops that had closed down, wondering which group the people in the last shop belonged to. After the people from Division Seven appeared, the atmosphere at the scene became extremely quiet, everyone looking around either cautiously or puzzled. The forces formed a T-shape, with only Rupert and Zakaria and their men surrounded in the middle. The expressions on the faces of Rupert and Zakaria, along with their subordinates, were severely mismatched. The bald men had just come out, scaring Rupert and his men; when Luo An and his group appeared, they got scared again, but realizing that Luo An and the bald men were strangers to each other, they felt oddly amused. When the people from Division Seven continued to show up and stated their intention to arrest everyone present, the two men felt… somewhat numb. Numb as they were, Zakaria quickly grasped the situation and turned his body to look at Rupert, fury rising in his eyes as he roared out loud: "How dare you betray me?!" Before Zakaria could finish, Rupert, even more furious, shouted first, then drew a pistol, pressed it against Zakaria's temple, moved back, and yelled loudly: "Everyone back off! Let me leave! Or I'll kill this disrespectful, unrule-abiding jerk!" Zakaria, held at gunpoint, turned red with rage, cursing in some foreign language. Four bodyguards wanted to rescue him, yet the boss was under control. In the end, one of Rupert's subordinates, a white man with a buttock-chin, led the others to shoo them aside. The buttock-chin white man did not opt to kill them; they were surrounded, and the four bodyguards could, in a sense, be used as cannon fodder to buy time for escape. Rupert's and his subordinate's actions caused everyone present to twitch their eyebrows. Luo An's group and the bald men were all unable to guess whether the real targets were Rupert or Zakaria. The only ones who could guess the purpose of the actions were the people from Division Seven, they clearly planned to take everyone present into custody. The situation ended up in a deadlock, everyone pointing guns at each other, but no one firing first. The tide soon reached its peak, and suddenly, a speedboat charged toward the location through the rising waters. Reesi looked stunned the moment she saw it, instinctively turning her head towards Luo An. Luo An licked his lips and whispered lowly: Evelyn looked puzzled, and Conrad had a "you owe me an explanation" expression, but Luo An didn't bother with explanations, simply pulling out two smoke grenades from his back and throwing them, then grabbed Reesi and ran. White smoke dispersed instantly, terrifying everyone present. The MI6 agents quickly reacted, rushing into the smoke trying to capture people. However, they only found Zakaria's four bodyguards; Conrad and his buttock-chin subordinate had taken the opportunity to jump off the Tide Observation Platform and climbed onto the speedboat. "Thank this man for throwing the smoke grenade! Everyone, goodbye!" The buttock-chin subordinate stood on the speedboat, smiling and waved his hand while another subordinate immediately started the boat and swiftly left the area. The bald man cursed, but had to hurriedly lead his men to leave as the team from Division Seven was charging at them. While MI6 was escaping quickly, on the other side, Luo An and his three companions were also running at top speed, trying to shake off Division Seven's pursuit. While running, Conrad's face looked very grim: "Group Leader Luo An, you just let Conrad and his men escape, you need to give me an explanation." "I did it intentionally." Luo An's lips curled up as he said: "If they don't run, how can we catch them?"
